I saw a report that the Hilux is prized in under developed countries as a vehicle of war.

Every truck you see with a machine gun mounted is a Hilux...

The report indicates that most of the stolen hiluxs are shipped OS....

I lock mine and keep it insured.

As my Dad used to say. " A lock only keeps out an honest thief"...
